Although he joined the lineup at the last minute, the Prince had the crowd rocking to his beautiful blend of Afro Beat Pop and Hip Hop sounds.

“If the vibe is right, 100 percent, If I planned to go 10 songs, I can go 20, I can go forever.” Ice Princedescribes the important role the crowd plays in his performing. Feeding off the crowd vibe like it’s his kryptonite, he transcends their energy through his stage presence. Crowd reading is vital as a performer in order to understand what they want to hear and give them the greatest possible experience.

Although he admires the bold personalities of such American artists, he stays true to his sound and culture. He takes his listeners on a journey through rhythms and emotions as he laces his sound with the perfect balance of instruments, vocals, and catchy lyrics. “If they like my music, great for me, if not, then we’ll try again with something else.”
